pre-installed mamba

we recommend to use mamba and mamba-init to setup mamba.

module load maxwell mamba
. mamba-init

Afterwards you should be able to use mamba or conda as usual. The setup is not persistent and needs to be repeated whenever you start a terminal or login.

mamba init

You can make the setup persistent, for example:

module load maxwell mamba
mamba init bash

That will add a block to your ~/.bashrc. Open a fresh terminal and

which conda 

should show the conda version from the pre-installed mamba. We strongly recommend to disable automatic activation of the base environment, which otherwise can have all kind of side-effects. You can do this with

conda config --set auto_activate_base false

Note: for this you really have to use conda. mamba currently doesn't have a config command.
